dc.description.abstractObjective There are different clinical approaches for traumatic tympanic membrane perforation in the pediatric age group. The purpose of this study was to compare spontaneous recovery and the paper patch procedure and to analyze the factors that play a role in recovery. Materials and methods Pediatric patients who were admitted to the Emergency Department between January 2014 and June 2019 due to traumatic tympanic membrane perforation were investigated. Among these patients, medical records of cases followed by the otorhinolaryngology clinic for spontaneous closure or paper patch procedure were retrospectively examined. Medical records of a total number of 71 patients aged 2-16 years (33 females, 38 males) were analyzed. Results The overall closure rate was 89.75% (64/71). Although there was no difference between the groups of small- and medium-size perforations in terms of closure rates, the closure rate in large perforations was 90.9% in the paper patch group and 63.6% in the spontaneous closure group, and the difference between these two groups was statistically significant (p < 0.05). Additionally, the closure rate in the paper patch group (91.6%) was found to be significantly higher than that in the spontaneous closure group (58.3%) in the presence of a perforation contacting the malleus (p > 0.05). Conclusion Both procedures can be employed in pediatric cases of traumatic tympanic membrane perforation with high success rates. However, in case of a large perforation or a perforation contacting the malleus that is detected in the Emergency Department, it is necessary to refer the patients to the otorhinolaryngology clinic immediately for paper patch procedure instead of following up the patients for spontaneous closure.
